The superstar is also the first woman to rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the same week.

Cardi B becomes only the second woman to replace herself at No. 1 on the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop airplay chart as Pardison Fontaine’s “Backin’ It Up,” on which she features, knocks her single “Money” from the summit on the chart dated March 9.

Plus, as City Girls’ “Twerk,” which also boasts a guest appearance from Cardi B, bumps 5-3, the Bronx-born superstar becomes the first woman and only third act – behind Drake and Lil Wayne – to claim the chart’s top three positions at the same time.

“Up” ascends with a 9 percent boost in plays in the week ending March 3, according to Nielsen Music. “Money” had reigned for the five previous frames.

As the exchange at No. 1 occurs, Cardi B is just the second woman to pull off the switch, following Nicki Minaj in 2015. That year, Minaj’s “Truffle Butter,” featuring Drake and Lil Wayne was dethroned by Rae Sremmurd’s “Throw Some Mo,” featuring Minaj and Young Thug.

Among all acts, Cardi B is the 10th individual to achieve the feat since the chart began in 1993. Nelly inaugurated the club in August 2002, when “Hot in Herre” wrapped a six-week stay at No. 1 and ceded the throne to “Dilemma,” featuring Kelly Rowland, for the first of its nine-week term.

Here’s a full rundown of all 19 instances in which an act claimed successive No. 1s on the chart. Drake boasts the most self-replacements, with six.

Special mention applies to three of the aforementioned acts – 50 Cent, Lil Wayne and Drake - who completed the feat twice-in-a-row by linking three uninterrupted chart leaders. 50 Cent scored the hat trick in 2005, while Lil Wayne managed it in 2011 via “Motivation,” “I’m on One” and “How to Love.” Drake, meanwhile, accomplished the deed in 2018 through “God’s Plan,” “Look Alive” and “Nice for What.”

In other “Up” news, Fontaine and Cardi B’s collaboration steps 4-3 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, a new peak. The track gains 10 percent in audience to 23 million in the week ending March 3, per Nielsen Music.
